Cabled Fiber Studio and Feiro Marine Life Center have started a new partnership to raise money for education and citizen science programs at Feiro through the creation of fiber sea stars, crabs, jellies, octopuses, etc.

Fiber artisans may stop by Cabled Fiber Studio for patterns and donated yarn to make the creatures. Final products may be donated to Feiro to be sold in the gift shop.

This effort kicks off with a hands-on workshop on making wet felted sea stars from 6-8 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 7, at Cabled Fiber, 106 N. Laurel St.

The cost is $25 per person and includes materials.

Enrollment is limited and pre-registration is required by contacting Cabled Fiber Studio at 360-504-2233.

A reception to meet the artist and learn about his art form is set for 5-8 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 9, during the Second Saturday Art Walk.

Artists are encouraged to submit art for “Parallel Patterns – Significant Schemes, Seams & Symbols,” a juried show exhibiting Oct. 1-Nov. 29. It is open to all fiber arts media. Cost is $10 for up to three entries. Deadline is Sept. 9.

The show is hosted and sponsored by Museum & Arts Center in the Sequim-Dungeness Valley at 175 W. Cedar St., and the North Olympic Fiber Arts Festival (Oct. 3-5).
